 # Scarp Documentation
 
 
-**Custom documentation engine:** Scarp Docs now builds from the Scarp-owned TypeScript generator, with bilingual HTML, local search, responsive layout and offline-browser tests. See [architecture and migration gates](SCARP-DOCS-ENGINE.md) and [Issue #70](https://github.com/scarp-lang/scarp-docs/issues/70). Legacy VitePress/Vue validation code and dependencies are transitional and will be removed after the new Pages deployment is verified. No stable release is implied.

See [architecture and migration gates](SCARP-DOCS-ENGINE.md) and [Issue #70](https://github.com/scarp-lang/scarp-docs/issues/70). The published site uses no VitePress/Vue package. Historical source evidence and configuration text are temporarily retained until all release-policy validators are migrated to the owned engine. No stable release is implied.

 The renderer escapes unreviewed raw Markdown HTML. It explicitly recognizes only the project's callouts and named widgets; future embedded content must be implemented and tested rather than bypassing HTML safety. The core language reference remains pinned to v0.0.5-alpha.1. The latest published compiler verified at migration start is v0.0.6-alpha.1, not the changing compiler main branch.
